Lofa County has officially unveiled its technical teams for football and kickball as preparations intensify for the 2026/27 National County Sports Meet (NCSM), with county authorities signaling their ambition to compete for national honors.
The appointments were announced Wednesday during an official unveiling ceremony organized by the Lofa County Sports Steering Committee in Voinjama, marking the beginning of a renewed campaign to assemble competitive and disciplined teams capable of representing the county at the national level.
For football, Kollie Korvah, popularly known as “Korvy,” has been appointed head coach of the Lofa County team.
He will be assisted by George Saysay, who has been named deputy coach of the Wologisi Boys.
The county has also appointed Jerry Kennedy as head coach of its kickball team, with Luther T. Kayedah serving as assistant coach.
Korvah Returns With Winning Experience
Korvah’s return has generated considerable excitement among Lofa County supporters, given his previous success with the Wologisi Boys.
Regarded by many fans as one of the coaches associated with Lofa’s successful campaigns in previous editions of the National County Sports Meet, Korvah returns with experience, tactical knowledge and familiarity with the demands of the competition.
His appointment is therefore being viewed as a significant part of Lofa’s strategy to strengthen its football program and mount a serious challenge for the championship.
The county will be hoping that Korvah can once again build a cohesive squad capable of navigating the intensity, rivalry and pressure traditionally associated with Liberia’s premier county-level sporting competition.
Speaking during the unveiling ceremony, Momo T. Cyrus, Chairman of the Lofa County Sports Steering Committee, challenged the newly appointed technical staff to approach their responsibilities with professionalism, discipline and determination.
Cyrus urged the coaches to identify and develop players capable of forming balanced, competitive squads while maintaining high standards of discipline and organization.
He further tasked the technical teams with building sides strong enough to compete for trophies across the respective sporting categories.
The appointment of Jerry Kennedy to lead the kickball team represents another important component of Lofa County’s preparations.
Working alongside assistant coach Luther T. Kayedah, Kennedy is expected to begin the process of identifying talented players and shaping a competitive team capable of challenging for national honors.
Kickball remains an important component of the National County Sports Meet, attracting strong county rivalries and significant public interest throughout Liberia.
Lofa Signals Ambition Ahead of NCSM
With both technical teams now confirmed, Lofa County has moved into a critical phase of its preparations for the 2026/27 National County Sports Meet.
The unveiling provides the foundation for player identification, training, tactical preparation and squad development in the weeks ahead.
For a county with a proud sporting tradition and passionate supporters, expectations will be high.
Lofa’s leadership has made its objective clear: build disciplined, organized and competitive teams capable of going deep into the tournament and challenging for championship glory.
As preparations gather momentum, attention will now turn to player selection and the commencement of intensive training, with the Wologisi Boys and the county’s kickball team expected to carry Lofa’s hopes on the national stage.
